in gikuyu, of gikuyu, for gikuyu//binyavanga wainaina

granta is one of my favorite (and also very expensive) lit mags, and i especially love when they share archived writings online for free. check out parts one and two of a letter from binyavanga wainaina, about a visit to kenya after a long time away. i would share an excerpt here, but you really should read it for yourself. enjoy. ---AL.
